[00:00:00] According to medical sources, there are several varied injuries,
[00:00:03] some of which are minor and some are
[00:00:06] serious. There are also fatalities,
[00:00:11] know best. It was clear in according to the civil defense teams
[00:00:12] that is able to deal with who are still working at the scene, as we can see here through
[00:00:14] the camera. Civil defense teams
[00:00:17] statements. Now, why was this are working to clear the roads and remove
[00:00:19] the remains and debris of this explosion from
[00:00:22] the streets. This street, which
[00:00:26] is considered a main street, is full of
[00:00:30] commercial stores and supply
[00:00:33] stores. This explosion caused
[00:00:37] Hikmat Al-Hijri in damage to buildings, properties, and civilian cars.
[00:00:40] Thank you very much, Muhammad Al-Jazairi, our correspondent from Jaramana.
[00:00:43] Thanks also to Professor Mustafa Al-Nuaimi, our guest and political analyst, who
[00:00:47] was with us a short while ago. We will move with you to the program "On the Table" with
[00:01:06] the beneficiary of this degree or this large degree of
[00:01:07] the beneficiary is whoever wants to undermine this
[00:01:21] present within it. Therefore,
[00:01:23] Jaramana maintained this
[00:01:33] if we want to use this A terrorist bombing in
[00:01:36] Jaramana, in a civilian passenger bus
[00:01:40] to take me, from the beginning, they wanted to take me to service. There are body parts, as the Ministry of Health
[00:01:43] says it is dealing with, and there are a number of injured people, seven
[00:01:47] or eight, so far. All the numbers are still
[00:01:50] preliminary.
[00:01:53] what Sweida is affected by from This bombing, this terrorist bombing that occurred in
[00:01:57] Jaramana
[00:02:02] and this project followed a statement issued today from Jaramana. This
[00:02:05] We offer our condolences, of course, to the statement also spoke about Jaramana's destination
[00:02:09] being Damascus, and that Jaramana's relationship
[00:02:13] to, I mean, to
[00:02:13] statement that was issued in with its neighbor in Ghouta different from what we is a red line, and that Syria is united,
[00:02:15] Jaramana currently is part and all this talk that
[00:02:18] appeared in the statement, and then this
[00:02:30] for the injured. Today on "On the Table," we will talk about
[00:02:33] Jaramana, we will talk about its statement,
[00:02:35] connected to this we will talk about its explosion, we will talk about the circumstances that preceded this
[00:02:38] event by days, and then the future of this
[00:02:42] city, in the words of its people. Welcome to "On the Table."

[00:03:15] Welcome, Professor Salman Katiba. Welcome. Professor Muhannad
[00:03:31] does not carry a 50% Syria. They do not your comment. As you said, may God have mercy on the martyrs, and a speedy recovery
[00:03:34] for the injured.
[00:03:36] who is behind this bombing. It is a tragic matter, that we are in this situation
[00:03:40] and this bombing happens.
[00:03:44] have martyrs or children who died in Of course, we don't have complete and clear information yet, but it is indeed a very
[00:03:49] line bad
[00:03:50] believe it is and criminal bombing
[00:03:53] in a sensitive area. As we know, it happened on a
[00:03:57] service bus, and it reminds us, of course, of the bombings that happened a while ago,
[00:04:00] during the French president's time, in the same way. It seems that there are
[00:04:06] way: "Go back to your homes." Returning to do not change. explosive devices placed in these
[00:04:09] groups, threats from a number of vehicles. It seems to me that the matter is I don't know the extent
[00:04:13] of its I don't want to say seriousness,
[00:04:16] but it feels like there is a primitive approach
[00:04:18] residents. Some families in this to the matter, more than there are
[00:04:21] organized forces or international terrorists,
[00:04:25] other places. I think so. However, it is
[00:04:28] certainly a terrorist incident, and
[00:04:32] those who seek
[00:04:35] as an enemy. So, the civil society in to commit and followed up on the circumstances of
[00:04:36] and their guests were honored. I mean that this
[00:04:37] Sweida wants the state. The civil society in such crimes must be pursued. Of course,
[00:04:41] as
[00:04:44] we will see the position mentioned now in this you mentioned, there is a statement from the spiritual authority. And of course, the spiritual authority
[00:04:48] has around it
[00:04:50] from believing something a group of civil and national forces of educated
[00:04:54] youth who
[00:04:56] what this are working with this authority to protect civil
[00:04:59] peace in Jaramana and the common coexistence
[00:05:02] that Jaramana has truly been known for
[00:05:05] a number, perhaps different among all sects. Jaramana
[00:05:06] people has hundreds of thousands, there are different numbers,
[00:05:09] but until now, in my estimation,
[00:05:12] there is an example,
[00:05:16] a clear example, of how its people
[00:05:20] from all sects coexist, despite the problems it has.
[00:05:23] There are problems, but very few, very few,
[00:05:26] meaning there is something I want
[00:05:30] to add to what I just said,
[00:05:32] which is that there are incidents, but they are individual incidents,
[00:05:36] and there is a possibility of addressing them.
[00:05:39] Okay, Professor Rabie, now there will be investigations.
[00:05:43] Certainly, the party that committed this act
[00:05:46] will be known. But who benefits from such a bombing in your opinion? I believe the primary beneficiary
[00:05:50] is whoever wants to destabilize the security and civil peace in the city
[00:05:54] of Jaramana, no matter who they are. Today, the city of Jaramana
[00:05:57] is a city that has proven during a year and a half after the fall
[00:06:01] of the regime that the city has a high capacity for common coexistence,
[00:06:05] a high capacity to control its security and safety and preserve all components
[00:06:08] of Syrian society. I do not believe that there is a city and a geographical spot on Syrian
[00:06:12] land that has this high
[00:06:15] demographic diversity among its inhabitants. I believe
[00:06:20] model, whatever it may be. But I also want to say
[00:06:24] that Jaramana will not suffer from this psychological state. This is not
[00:06:27] the first of its kind. During the years of the Syrian revolution, the former
[00:06:31] regime tried dozens of times. More than five bombings occurred,
[00:06:35] and more than 250 martyrs fell in these bombings. The intention was always
[00:06:38] to destabilize and always to incite
[00:06:43] sects or minorities,
[00:06:45] term, against each other, or to sow
[00:06:49] discord and division, but they did not succeed. So I believe that it has the ability
[00:06:52] and immunity to overcome such
[00:06:54] acts. Professor Salman,
[00:06:58] please, who,
[00:07:02] who wants to destabilize civil peace in Jaramana? Who are these
[00:07:05] parties so that we don't talk about the unknown, so that the conversation
[00:07:08] is frank?
[00:07:10] We don't want to get into
[00:07:13] speculation, first of all, the incident is new.
[00:07:17] martyrs and we all wish
[00:07:20] a speedy recovery for the injured.
[00:07:23] The incident is new, and
[00:07:26] we must certainly wait for the investigations to clarify. Now, the beneficiary,
[00:07:29] I agree with what the brothers said,
[00:07:32] meaning the beneficiary is the one who wants to destabilize. Who is he from these
[00:07:36] parties? From these parties that are plotting against Jaramana?
[00:07:39] What kind of
[00:07:42] it's
[00:07:45] hard to talk about a specific party, but
[00:07:47] what happened in Jaramana
[00:07:50] throughout the entire previous
[00:07:54] period, there was
[00:07:58] one stance
[00:08:01] from all components. There
[00:08:03] was solidarity between all the components present. Jaramana
[00:08:07] has great diversity,
[00:08:11] and all Syrian factions are
[00:08:13] present in Jaramana. Throughout this period, all
[00:08:17] the residents of Jaramana were able
[00:08:20] to pass through this
[00:08:25] of
[00:08:28] this certainly did not please many
[00:08:31] parties. Among these parties, there are parties
[00:08:35] that do not want Jaramana to be, for example, a part of
[00:08:40] want Jaramana
[00:08:43] to maintain this civil peace that exists
[00:08:46] there. Meaning, there are parties that do not want Jaramana to
[00:08:49] become independent, to become independent. Do you mean it should not be
[00:08:53] part of Syria? Meaning Jaramana should not be independent, according to
[00:08:56] the logic of the parties, according to the logic of the parties you are talking about. Yes,
[00:09:00] you say they are parties that do not want Jaramana to be part of Syria.
[00:09:04] Perhaps there are many parties, perhaps there are parties
[00:09:07] that, during this period that we were talking about, are currently
[00:09:11] on their way. During this period, and as a result
[00:09:15] of the events that occurred, there were also
[00:09:22] something called Ansar al-Sunnah, etc.
[00:09:26] It happened. So, extremist groups, extremist groups, of course, and we do not
[00:09:30] know, we do not have a real idea about their
[00:09:33] There are
[00:09:35] groups on social media, etc. Do you believe these statements? You
[00:09:39] now, no, we do not believe or disbelieve. But
[00:09:43] it can provoke
[00:09:46] a large number of people who might believe and might carry out some
[00:09:50] actions. So this is a terrorist group.
[00:09:53] There have been, for example, in Syria,
[00:09:55] major crimes resulting
[00:09:59] sometimes
[00:10:03] that appeared on video. Great. So one of the parties is a terrorist party, these
[00:10:07] extremist organizations. Perhaps there are other parties.
[00:10:10] Perhaps from, meaning, in
[00:10:14] Jaramana,
[00:10:19] are not
[00:10:21] at ease.
[00:10:26] Meaning, they are not pleased with
[00:10:29] the situation in Jaramana in terms
[00:10:32] of the stance
[00:10:37] the Syrian state, that is able
[00:10:40] to deal with the various components present in
[00:10:44] Jaramana and achieve this harmony that we are in.
[00:10:47] Okay, Professor Muhannad,
[00:10:51] excuse me, the statement was issued today, and the statement was striking.
[00:10:55] The bombing happened in the evening.
[00:10:57] The timing,
[00:10:59] the synchronicity, is there
[00:11:09] of the word, and any party behind it is an
[00:11:12] absolutely terrorist party. It cannot be described in any other
[00:11:16] way. However, I want to go a little further than what
[00:11:19] the brothers and friends discussed
[00:11:22] about the bombing incident. Of course, the
[00:11:25] question marks or arrows that we can direct towards
[00:11:31] bombing, I would say that we have an event that happened
[00:11:35] some time ago, as political or security events in Syria. There may be
[00:11:39] a party that wants to destabilize the security and stability of the region,
[00:11:42] not only Jaramana, but a major event
[00:11:45] accompanied by a security event that has been going on for almost three
[00:11:49] days, with a state of alert and so on. There may be someone who wants
[00:11:53] to harm the state of security stability of the current
[00:11:57] Syrian state. Also, there are signs
[00:12:00] that may come from outside the borders. Who is benefiting from destabilizing
[00:12:04] civil peace in Jaramana, especially after the statement? It could be
[00:12:08] Israel. It could be Israel. One of the posts
[00:12:12] I read on Facebook, which is by the media personality Abdul Karim
[00:12:15] Al-Halabi, he says specifically that this is
[00:12:18] a clear message to the sheikhs, with respect
[00:12:21] to a very bad word, in Jaramana, after
[00:12:24] the statement that was issued from Jaramana,
[00:12:27] we are able to harm everywhere and strike anywhere
[00:12:31] in Damascus. This is available on the page of the media personality
[00:12:34] Abdul. Considering it's from outside the borders, not inside
[00:12:38] the borders. So this is a sign from one of the signs. There is
[00:12:42] someone who has no interest in any state
[00:12:45] of stability for the Syrian state, regardless
[00:12:48] of whether we are currently building and in a position of opposition or
[00:12:54] This position that we have taken, we can never compromise
[00:12:57] on the stability of the homeland as a homeland. As
[00:13:01] for the political disagreement within Syria,
[00:13:04] I believe that the opposition parties in Syria,
[00:13:07] or in Damascus, we distance ourselves a bit from them, that they are the cause. But
[00:13:11] I believe the cause is security par excellence, security par excellence,
[00:13:15] meaning that the disputes that have been happening in Syria
[00:13:19] for the past three or four days, which are accompanied by security alerts, may involve
[00:13:22] some cells or
[00:13:25] factions
[00:13:28] the Syrian state. They may have a role in this event. And I agree
[00:13:32] with the hint about factions from somewhere,
[00:13:36] south, any factions. Especially, and I reiterate,
[00:13:40] the event is still fresh, and the analyses may be
[00:13:44] confusing as the accurate information has not yet arrived. We, in the
[00:13:47] Syrian Daughters of Peace team, always try to gather information before
[00:13:50] presenting it. Therefore, this is an assumption, and this assumption
[00:13:56] accuracy rate, because we do not yet have enough
[00:13:59] information to link it to a specific party
[00:14:03] or affiliation, especially since there has been no claim of responsibility so far. Who
[00:14:06] claimed responsibility for this issue? We are only trying, through what is published
[00:14:10] on social media, to extract some news. But I
[00:14:15] best not to rush to judgment. We are not asking about the
[00:14:19] beneficiaries. Certainly, the investigation will take its course and will reveal
[00:14:23] the perpetrator. But we are looking for In short, the beneficiary is the party
[00:14:27] that does not want Syria to be stable.
[00:14:30] Yes, we now have our correspondent from Jaramana.
[00:14:33] Hello,
[00:14:40] can you hear me? Dyan, Dyan, can you hear me?
[00:14:44] Dyan. Yes, yes, I hear you.
[00:14:48] Where are you now and how is the situation now in
[00:14:51] where you are standing?
[00:14:55] Yes, we have reached the site
[00:14:58] of the incident.
[00:15:04] According to, okay, the sound,
[00:15:07] the sound is not clear,
[00:15:09] Dyan. We may call you back, we may
[00:15:13] call again later in this episode. Thank you very much, Dyan.
[00:15:16] Dr. Adham, a statement was issued today
[00:15:19] from Jaramana. Why was this statement issued,
[00:15:23] saying that Damascus is our qibla and we are the depth of Ghouta? What is the reason for this statement
[00:15:27] in Jaramana? Jaramana always issues these statements that affirm the unity
[00:15:30] of the stance and
[00:15:33] of Damascus and Ghouta and so on. This
[00:15:37] confirms the independence of the decision,
[00:15:40] meaning that it is not linked to Sweida or
[00:15:44] the National Guard and these forms that they, if we assume,
[00:15:47] try to divide the ranks, let's
[00:15:51] say. These are constant
[00:15:54] statement issued? There are several things that happened in Jaramana. The incident
[00:15:57] of our brother Raed, a wonderful activist,
[00:16:01] honest, of course, this
[00:16:04] is a misunderstanding from the part of Raed, he spoke, he
[00:16:08] seems to have misunderstood the nature
[00:16:12] of Jaramana and Jaramana's position, and so on. Then
[00:16:15] he was actually attacked by people who,
[00:16:19] by the way, might be in general security,
[00:16:22] and they might even have had connections
[00:16:27] the former regime,
[00:16:30] as usual, as we know. And it's as if, not only in this issue,
[00:16:34] but in many issues, it's as if the former regime is being
[00:16:38] reproduced in one way or another. A regime in Jaramana, in Jaramana
[00:16:41] in all of Syria. We are talking about Jaramana. Jaramana or
[00:16:45] elsewhere. I had an incident. I had an incident
[00:16:48] where a guest came to me from Egypt, a writer, and
[00:16:51] he wrote a book about the beginning of Sham and Egypt. I hosted him in one of
[00:16:55] the parks, and we were talking about the book, about
[00:16:58] Sham and Palestine and so on. There was someone
[00:17:02] sitting and listening to
[00:17:06] us. We went out, and the security asked me.
[00:17:09] A security patrol came. The security told me that we were talking about politics, and what did we have to do with it?
[00:17:13] And they wanted
[00:17:17] the then I told
[00:17:20] them, what's the story? One of my students,
[00:17:23] by the way, was among the patrol. He stopped us, just allow
[00:17:26] me a moment. He stopped us. I spoke to him.
[00:17:29] He called someone and then he let me go, saying that he would write a report about us talking
[00:17:33] politics. What I want to say is
[00:17:37] that we must strive to present
[00:17:40] a clear policy, clear
[00:17:44] in its features, on a path
[00:17:47] were on previously. This
[00:17:53] of, or at least an indicator,
[00:17:56] an indicator that we are moving in the right direction for the unity
[00:18:02] of course, are against
[00:18:05] and his group in the Jabal want. The statement,
[00:18:07] of course, is not in response to, it is in response
[00:18:11] Jaramana has no connection to, has no connection to the National Guard
[00:18:14] or the Bashaniyya, of course.
[00:18:18] That is the content of the statement, Professor Rabie. I believe that
[00:18:22] the confirmed confirmation is a natural matter. The city of Jaramana experienced several
[00:18:25] disturbances during the past period, or rather, they emerged strongly
[00:18:29] after the anniversary of the Sweida massacres and what happened in Sweida, and then
[00:18:32] the incident with Raed
[00:18:35] Sadeq, and so on. And here we can
[00:18:39] also point to the media's handling of the situation in a different way,
[00:18:43] exaggerating the event more than it deserves. Let me stop at this incident because it had a negative
[00:18:47] impact in that the media came and talked about a person
[00:18:50] we don't know who he is, what his description is,
[00:18:53] and then there was a kind of, "No, there are separatists
[00:18:57] here in this area, in the city of Jaramana." And then he appeared
[00:19:00] in a video saying that it was a reservoir for the shabiha and so on.
[00:19:04] This is direct incitement, this is direct incitement against the city. And this could have an
[00:19:08] effect on what happened today in the bombing, because I am practically what am I doing? I am
[00:19:12] putting this narrative, whether on official media or semi-official media, or adopting this issue.
[00:19:16] I am telling the people present who
[00:19:21] Sweida or elsewhere, "Look, those who are here are
[00:19:25] one or two kilometers away from you." So this is also a form of incitement
[00:19:28] that needs to be strongly resisted. So, going back to the statement,
[00:19:32] in 2011, with the start of the Syrian Revolution,
[00:19:35] the sheikhs and people of Jaramana confirmed what we are confirming now:
[00:19:39] that Ghouta is our neighbor and our borders
[00:19:43] And
[00:19:45] they did everything required of them to prove that this relationship is an exemplary relationship
[00:19:49] that cannot be tampered with. For example,
[00:19:52] at that time, in 2011, the sheikhs issued a religious
[00:19:56] ban stating that anyone who kills outside the city limits is prohibited from being prayed over
[00:19:59] or buried inside the city. This means that our relationship with our neighbors is a relationship that
[00:20:03] cannot be touched. This is out of caution. They also called for receiving
[00:20:06] families, all components, and specifically
[00:20:10] families who were forced to leave their homes,
[00:20:13] position is Jaramana's position since and even if we review Jaramana's statements
[00:20:16] from 2017 before the fall of the regime until today,
[00:20:22] statement repeated in all previous statements. So I believe
[00:20:25] that the city still confirms that it is part of the capital and cannot be otherwise.
[00:20:28] The people of the city are Syrians and will not choose
[00:20:32] or have any choice but to be Syrians. They have been in this land for more than
[00:20:35] a year. They did not descend in a basket and did not descend in a parachute. They are an
[00:20:39] essential part of the Syrian component, and they are insistent on this.
[00:20:43] Now, if there are people or positions
[00:20:45] or other projects that want to say
[00:20:49] otherwise, it is possible for the sectarian or tribal
[00:20:52] link to be present in the city of Jaramana. No, it is not possible.
[00:20:56] The city of Jaramana is an independent city, its decision is independent, and its people
[00:21:01] the statement, especially that we cannot be a post office box for anyone. This is
[00:21:04] a strong statement, meaning for anyone. This is a striking
[00:21:08] phrase, of course, that we do not want anyone from the people of the city, and its people know best
[00:21:11] their interests. They can decide what
[00:21:15] they deem appropriate. Whoever has any project or any idea
[00:21:18] should express it and discuss it
[00:21:20] and not pursue it externally. But this matter perhaps
[00:21:24] angers
[00:21:27] the Jabal, that Jaramana is
[00:21:31] outside his control, outside his opinion.
[00:21:34] Perhaps. We are not
[00:21:37] now in the process of angering anyone. We are
[00:21:41] affirming, I mean, we are affirming the confirmed, meaning
[00:21:44] that everything stated in the statement is actually
[00:21:48] nothing new. All of these are existing positions. So why
[00:21:51] was it issued then? It was issued as a result of, as Dr. Adham
[00:21:55] just said, some events that occurred
[00:21:58] recently, some disturbances that occurred
[00:22:01] in the recent period.
[00:22:04] Whether it was the incident of
[00:22:06] Professor Raed or
[00:22:09] what preceded it, the demonstrations that occurred,
[00:22:12] for example, contrary to public opinion, the demonstrations that
[00:22:16] glorified the anniversary.
[00:22:37] Meaning, as a result of these
[00:22:40] actions that went against
[00:22:43] public opinion in Jaramana, and
[00:22:47] all the events that accompanied
[00:22:50] it. So the people of Jaramana and its sheikhs wanted
[00:22:54] to confirm these constants
[00:22:57] that existed previously and highlight them and clarify them.
[00:23:01] Okay, now with the latest breaking news, two victims
[00:23:04] and 13 injured.
[00:23:07] Dyan Dompas, our correspondent from
[00:23:10] Jaramana, is with us, isn't that right?
[00:23:13] Yes, hello
[00:23:15] Dyan.
[00:23:18] Yes, the number
[00:23:29] of the explosion
[00:23:31] Of course, we arrived at the scene
[00:23:34] of the explosion in Jaramana city, Rif Dimashq,
[00:23:38] specifically in Al-Rawda neighborhood. This neighborhood, by its nature,
[00:23:41] Moaz, is a densely populated
[00:23:44] neighborhood, and it is a vibrant neighborhood. Now, at this
[00:23:47] moment, the
[00:23:52] touring this neighborhood. Civil Defense teams
[00:23:56] continue their work to open
[00:23:59] the road after
[00:24:01] the internal security forces imposed a security cordon
[00:24:05] and closed some roads leading
[00:24:09] to this neighborhood, units
[00:24:12] immediately began
[00:24:15] searching and investigating the circumstances
[00:24:19] of this. So far,
[00:24:22] there is no information about
[00:24:26] Of course, this bombing
[00:24:30] resulted from an improvised
[00:24:32] explosive device planted in one of the vehicles
[00:24:36] that operates on the internal transport in this neighborhood.
[00:24:40] Okay, Dyan, Dyan, the people next to you, what are they saying?
[00:24:44] I mean, what is the opinion of the people next to you? Let's hear
[00:24:48] their opinion. What are they saying? I didn't hear you,
[00:24:51] Moaz. The people next to you in the street, what
[00:24:55] are they saying? I mean, the people here
[00:24:58] truly say that
[00:25:02] since the bombing, there has been a state of panic
[00:25:05] and fear among most
[00:25:08] area have left, perhaps,
[00:25:12] to their relatives in
[00:25:15] They truly have no information.
[00:25:18] The
[00:25:20] authorities, who imposed the security cordon
[00:25:25] this bombing, have almost finished. The
[00:25:29] concerned authorities have finished
[00:25:32] moving the vehicle in which the bombing occurred,
[00:25:36] and the security forces immediately began opening
[00:25:39] the roads to traffic, and you can see behind me here
[00:25:43] Civil Defense teams removing
[00:25:46] bombing left behind, including
[00:25:50] damage to cars and public property.
[00:25:52] And
[00:25:54] immediately upon the bombing, all teams were mobilized
[00:25:58] at the level of the Directorate of Health
[00:26:00] and the Ministry of Interior,
[00:26:03] and also Civil Defense teams, and work began
[00:26:07] to transport the dead and injured
[00:26:10] to hospitals inside the city, including Al-Moussa Hospital.
[00:26:14] Thank you. And also I mean, yes, the work continues
[00:26:18] from Jaramana, our correspondent Dyan Janbas. Thank you
[00:26:21] very much. We will continue to be in contact with you to provide us
[00:26:24] with the latest information from Jaramana. Professor
[00:26:27] Muhannad,
[00:26:29] Jaramana's relationship with the Jabal is always a source of
[00:26:32] questions. The position of some
[00:26:36] of the Hijris in the Jabal and the position of Jaramana
[00:26:39] seem to be at odds,
[00:26:43] no doubt. Even within the same region,
[00:26:46] there must be a divergence of ideas, especially in Jabal
[00:26:50] al-Arab, and especially after the events that Sweida was subjected to.
[00:26:54] However, before I answer your question, I will present an idea that may be
[00:26:57] an idea that expresses the reality of the people of
[00:27:01] Jaramana. Jaramana,
[00:27:04] in its statement or in its collection of statements, always
[00:27:07] takes a positive
[00:27:10] neutrality in any problem, considering itself a natural
[00:27:13] place for a demographic
[00:27:16] gathering and demographic diversity of all
[00:27:20] races and ethnicities
[00:27:25] cohesion, this diversity within society,
[00:27:28] and Jaramana insists in all its statements that
[00:27:32] "we are true Syrians, the sons of this
[00:27:36] land. What is currently new in Jaramana is
[00:27:40] new and not original and does not represent the community in Jaramana.
[00:27:43] The community of Jaramana is a Syrian community, generation after generation, as our
[00:27:47] friends mentioned. However, this divergence is natural,
[00:27:50] that positions differ or these
[00:27:53] positions are affected by
[00:27:56] within. Now, I am not saying Hijris, I am saying
[00:28:00] that there is a project that Hikmat Al-Hijri is leading,
[00:28:04] is completely different from the national project that is also
[00:28:08] currently present in Sweida. Meaning, there are also in Sweida
[00:28:11] those who are committed
[00:28:15] the true Syrian identity, considering Sweida, the
[00:28:19] national situation there, is rooted throughout history, and I don't think
[00:28:24] component in the south is
[00:28:29] disagreement, and due to the particularity of the religious sect, that there would be
[00:28:32] people emotionally and religiously and affectionately
[00:28:38] community. So the people of Jaramana would be affected. But here,
[00:28:41] the question arises, what can I do
[00:28:44] and what can this government
[00:28:47] offer today to bridge this gap
[00:28:53] the national and he also tends,
[00:28:56] for me, it is necessary to
[00:28:59] Sweida from security files and convert them into
[00:29:03] humanitarian files. This is truly important, meaning separating the
[00:29:06] factional situation from the humanitarian situation. For example,
[00:29:08] let's take the file of students. It is currently a
[00:29:12] humanitarian file, but unfortunately, it is being dealt with as a security file,
[00:29:16] which is a problem. And the student in Sweida is
[00:29:19] ultimately a Syrian student. Therefore, converting
[00:29:23] files from security files to humanitarian files is the beginning
[00:29:26] of the solution, and considering some matters as above
[00:29:29] negotiation with the Syrian government. It is necessary to deal with them
[00:29:33] as files above negotiation, considering that I am a son of this country and not outside
[00:29:37] it. For example, the file of detainees is considered a humanitarian file
[00:29:40] that must be dealt with. There are people detained for more than six months for
[00:29:44] misdemeanors, photos on mobile phones, and so on.
[00:29:47] And their families are still appealing to the Syrian government to release
[00:29:50] them. In addition, there are many initiatives in the educational file
[00:29:54] that have been submitted but are being ignored. We hope that
[00:29:58] this voice will reach the submission of files. One last point, please, the file
[00:30:02] of the displaced is a humanitarian file. Dealing with it
[00:30:05] is not in a very simple
[00:30:08] homes does not happen. There is infrastructure first to prepare
[00:30:12] it, to encourage people. The displaced
[00:30:16] reject this matter. This works if the displaced project
[00:30:19] rejects all of this. He rejects it. Let's speak frankly. I
[00:30:23] am telling you frankly, if he rejects all of this,
[00:30:27] then today, as a state, I will deal with him as a rejector, and I will go
[00:30:30] to the civil and local community that supports me and wants me, and I will
[00:30:34] deal with him as a son of the country, not
[00:30:39] Sweida wants the Syrian homeland, but it wants it
[00:30:43] as it dreams. Ah, we are all children of a revolution. This is difficult.
[00:30:46] Sometimes it's difficult. Efforts must be combined. My
[00:30:49] role is, like, either as I dream or not, or not. Now, as I dream,
[00:30:53] I expect you to dream, and we all dream
[00:30:56] in it, but the reality is, if this reality is not
